Reflections from Budapest - 'October 7 Will be Forever Marked By Hamas's Horrific Brutality' - Discussion with Elie Pieprz Part 1

Prof. Jeffrey Kaplan | Sáron Sugár

In this episode of Reflections from Budapest, we asked Elie Pieprz, the director of International Relations of the Israel Defence and Security Forum. In our conversation, Mr Pieprz walked us through what happened to Israel on October 7, Black Saturday, when Hamas brutally attacked Israel, killed over 1200 Israeli civilians and took around 240 more as hostages. We also talked about the intelligence failure of Israel and whether the attack could've been prevented. To conclude, we talked about the Israeli invasion of Gaza and how the IDF tries to minimise civilian casualties.
